GARY, Ind. (AP) _ Authorities say a man found slain inside a burning Gary home over the weekend was the brother of a former Outlaws Motorcycle Club leader who's facing federal racketeering charges.
The Lake County sheriff says 68-year-old Gerald Yager was handcuffed and his throat was slashed.
Sheriff John Buncich tells The (Munster) Times (http://bit.ly/1G6WFnE ) all signs point to arson for the fire that broke out about 4 a.m. Saturday at Yager's home.
Buncich said Yager was an Outlaws member, but wasn't as involved as his brother.
Federal prosecutors in Milwaukee have charged 59-year-old Randy Yager with participating in murders, bombings and arson aimed at rival clubs in the 1990s. The former Crown Point, Indiana, man was arrested in Mexico last October 17 years after he was first indicted.
